  • Brain
  • Journal of Neurology
  • Annals of Neurology

Key papers authored or co-authored by Becker demonstrate an emphasis on epilepsy and its related neurological conditions. These publications include:

  • "Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study", 2020, The Lancet Neurology
  • "GWAS meta-analysis of over 29,000 people with epilepsy identifies 26 risk loci and subtype-specific genetic architecture", 2023, Nature Genetics
  • "Toward a better definition of focal cortical dysplasia: An iterative histopathological and genetic agreement trial", 2021, Epilepsia
  • "The circadian dynamics of the hippocampal transcriptome and proteome is altered in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy", 2020, Science Advances
  • "External validation of automated focal cortical dysplasia detection using morphometric analysis", 2021, Epilepsia

These publications reflect an interdisciplinary approach combining histopathological, genetic, and molecular techniques to investigate epileptic disorders and other neurological conditions.
